crop is being cut down while in
bloom. There is a dense growth of
this bitter weed this season, and fields
which are generally wheat stubble--
that are TO be nay fields next summer
should have the rag weeds cut now,
raked and hauled off This will give
the clover a chance 10 make strong
growth the present fall and insure
clean hay next harvest. Put the rag
weed in the barn yard and turn it into
manure. If this weed were cut when
in bloom every season the crop would
be shortened in few years.
Three hundred and thirteen was
the net number of excursionists
which sailed on the steamer Emma
Giles from Port Deposit to Tolchest
err on Tuesday last. We feel grieved
that our friends Brickley & McCul-
Tough met with such severe loss in
their efforts to furnish pleasant trip
to the famous bay beach. There ap
pears to be but one excursion of the
season which will pay expenses
which is between the middle and last
of the month of July. Just after
harvest is the time to strike that hot
iron; who ever attempts to forge for
tune out of it at any other time retires
with burnt fingers.
The drowning Of young TAFT of
Philadelphia in Elk River on Mon
day afternoon came near being fol
lowed by a still more serious acct
dent. Harry Clemson, the young
son of o. 2. Clempson, proprietor Of
the FELTON, House, went grabbing in
a boat taking with Miss. Lucy Litz-
enberg daughter of Coroner Perry
Litzenbetg and her cousin Miss Lii
lie Sutton, of Wilmington. The boat
was upset and the occupants thrown
out in deep water. The lad was un-
able to save the young ladies and
they had gone under twice when they
were rescued by colored man who
happened to be near by.-News.
Carter Brothers of Oak Hill have
put down a tubed we'll for J. w. Buck
ley this week, eighty feet, to supply
the double dwelling house being built
on the lot east side of South Queen
street. These bored wells are by far the
best and also the cheapest wells made
and are being adopted where ever they
become known. In boring of so or
80 feet within the corporation limits a
heavy vein of excellent soft water is
struck which rises within 20 feet of the
surface. 1t requires less cost to put one
of these bored wells down to the above
depth, tubed and ready for the pump,
than to dig, wall and make ready and
complete the job of a dug we'll of so
feet, and the former is infinitely better
when completed.

full accident on Tuesday night or Wed
nesday morning of last week. He got
up some time in the night to get a
drink. After a little while his wife

tened to strike light and found her
husband lying at the foot of the stairs
unconscious. She called to her assist
ance Mr.. J. Barnes, who was next
door, and got the injured man relieved
from his dangerous situation. Mr.

bruises: The accident confined him to
bed and thehouse several days.
